Christmas Cooking 2014

Hope everyone is ready for Christmas... We finished our shopping last night, I think Elise is going to be very happy with Santa's visit 
Got to the store early this morning and picked up the holiday foods...
Today I started with a pot of soup out of the LeCrueset cookbook... Chicken Barley, turned out really well.
Having my mom here tomorrow for Christmas Eve dinner. I wanted to do a small standing rib, wife shot that down and said filets... Oh alright.
Filets, grilled asparagus, blackened U-10 scallops, and another try making the yams... basically the same cook from a few weeks ago.
Christmas day we are going over to my brother in laws... I've committed to wings, which I'll do the morning of, and a batch of rattle snake tails that I will prep and likely cook later today since they reheat well. I am also bringing a handle of Tito's and a few bottles of Zing Zang to keep everything merry & bright...
Hope everyone has a safe and happy Christmas & New Years!
Pics as they come...

I'm still jealous over the Le Creuset. A bowl of that soup would be perfect today, or tomorrow. Man this weather is depressing...They/Them

Sounds like a great plan coming together

Making these things is tough... Making them while responding to texts and emails absolutely nuts...
Finally finished and ready for the egg...
I used the left over stuffing and bacon I used to make a bacon grenade for myself. Going 350 or so indirect with hickory for smoke. The egg and Smokeware cap just doing its thing.

Looks like your egging weather is as lousy as mine. I think all us right coasters will be cooking in the rain this week. That grenade looks like the bomb :-B

Yep... I don't mind getting wet, and neither does the egg.

The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.
